My dad took me here for coffee and I hadn't visited before. Set in lovely scenery by the boating area, by the river Nene. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, toilet facilities and friendly staff. The service was prompt and atmosphere relaxing. We didn't have food but did have cappuccinos and a cup of tea. These were served hot, fresh and a full cup. Outdoor seating would be better for mobility aids, e.g. wheelchair, scooters, as the doors were push and pull and space between tables limited. We didn't pay for parking and couldn't see any pay and display signs. This cafe only takes payment via card and not cash.

Dreadful! Cold plates, cold breakfasts, no butter, luke warm coffee, no spoon. Serving food on cold plates has only one result. COLD FOOD. Rectifying this by microwaving cold toast and fried eggs does nothing to enhance their flavour. Wasted £20 on rubber eggs and panini flattened toast. Which I couldn't chew. I have no idea who decided to award themselves the 'best café in Northampton' but they are sadly deluded. My advice, bring your own food and sit outside.

I walked here from the town centre, it was approximately 1.5 mile along the Nene Valley, which is a river and it's surrounding wetlands. The cafe is very nice, it's in the same building as Northampton Active, which hire kayaks and rafts, the toilets are also shared (Waterside Cafe & Northampton Active).

My first visit to this cafe. It overlooks the water, which is nice. A small cafe. Not very cosy but ok. The service was functional, and could have been more friendly.

First visit to Waterside cafe. Very busy being a Sunday morning but the staff were managing very well. We will definitely return.

Over half hour wait for a bacon butty. Took them 15 minutes to realise they didn’t any rolls. Quality wasn’t terrible but you can see they had no system in place. Could not understand what they were possibly doing to be so slow

I pass this place every day on my way to and from work and the sign says you have just missed the best cafe in Northampton, bold statement. Just wish this was true . Who ever does the ordering for supplies needs sacking , you should take into account how busy it's going to be and make sure you have enough stock . I wanted a breakfast panini, no sausage. I orders a Homemade sausage roll £3.00 had to ask for a plate . It was greasy , the pastry was undercooked and soggy the sausage was dry . Not the quality I was expecting. I was going to tell my colleagues about this place as its close to our office but considering how slow service is and the quality of the food I won't bother . Leason learnt we won't bother again shame you don't live up to your statement.
